SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 24, 2023

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On September 26, 2023, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, commencing at 10:00 a.m., New York time. As previously disclosed, the board of directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on September 5, 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Capitalized terms used in this supplement to the Proxy Statement (the “Supplement”) without definition have the same meanings as set forth in the Proxy Statement.

 

This Supplement is being filed to correct an inadvertent error in the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), reported as outstanding as of the Record Date. The Proxy Statement previously stated that there were 5,051,020 shares of Common Stock outstanding when there were 4,851,020 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date. This change affects the disclosure as related to the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date as reported on pages 2 and 9 of the Proxy Statement, and the disclosure as related to the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date and the beneficial ownership percentages presented in the table in the section under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on pages 12 and 13 of the Proxy Statement.

 

Additionally, this Supplement is being filed to correct an inadvertent error in the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“Jackson”). The Proxy Statement previously stated that Jackson owned 373,903 shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date when they owned 173,903 shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date. This change affects the beneficial ownership table and footnote 9 thereto in the section under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on pages 12 and 13 of the Proxy Statement.

 

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. Except as specifically amended or supplemented by the information contained herein, this Supplement does not otherwise modify, amend or supplement the Proxy Statement, and the information contained in the Proxy Statement should be considered in voting your shares. If you have already returned your proxy card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

 

As corrected, the disclosure as related to the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date on page 2 of the Proxy Statement should read as follows:

 

Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and how many votes do they have?

 

Stockholders of record of our Common Stock and Series H Preferred Stock at the close of business on September 5, 2023 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 4,851,020 shares of Common Stock and 9,000,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding. A complete list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for inspection at the principal executive offices of the Company during regular business hours for the 10 calendar days prior to the Special Meeting. The list will also be available online during the Special Meeting.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to the rights of our stockholders contained in our charter documents, each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters listed in this Proxy Statement. Each holder of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by such holder is convertible with respect to any and all matters presented to the common stockholders for their action or consideration at the Special Meeting. Certain holders of Series H Preferred Stock have entered into a voting rights agreement related to the Series H Preferred Stock such that such holders have agreed, at every meeting of our stockholders, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, to appear or issue a proxy to a third party to be present for purposes of establishing a quorum, and to vote all applicable shares in favor of each matter proposed and recommended for approval by our Board either in person or by proxy, amongst other provisions. As of the Record Date, the stockholder parties to the voting rights agreement own shares of the Series H Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 350,004 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 7.0% of our Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time. The voting rights agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the date of its effectiveness.

 

As corrected, the disclosure as related to the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date on page 9 of the Proxy Statement should read as follows:

 

Reasons for Nasdaq Stockholder Approval

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of our Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock) at a price less than the Minimum Price. In the case of the Private Placement, the 20% threshold is determined based on the shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the signing of the Inducement Letter, which we signed on September 1, 2023.

 

Immediately prior to the execution of the Inducement Letter, we had 4,851,020 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and after issuance of 550,000 Existing Warrant Shares to the Investor (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include 2,211,170 Existing Warrant Shares held in abeyance for the Investor pursuant to the Inducement Letter), we had 5,401,020 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Therefore, the potential issuance of 5,729,428 shares of our Common Stock (consisting of 5,522,340 Investor Warrant Shares and 207,088 Placement Agent Warrant Shares) would have constituted greater than 20% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Inducement Letter. We are seeking stockholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) for the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of our Common Stock (or securities exercisable for our Common Stock) in excess of 970,204 shares, which is 20% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Inducement Letter.

 

As corrected, the disclosure on pages 12 and 13 under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” should read as follows:

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the SEC, as of the Record Date for:

 

each of our directors;
each of (i) our principal executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2022, (ii) the two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer during that year, and (iii) up to two additional executive officers for whom disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that each such officer was not serving as an executive officer at the end of that year; and
all persons, to our knowledge, that are the beneficial owners of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe each person named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Common Stock and Series H Preferred Stock opposite such person’s name. Percentage ownership is based on 4,851,020 shares of Common Stock and 9,000,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

(1) Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned and the respective percentages of beneficial ownership of Common Stock assume the exercise of all options and other securities convertible into Common Stock beneficially owned by such person or entity currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date, except as otherwise noted. Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and other securities convertible into Common Stock exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding and held by the holder of such options or other securities for computing the percentage of outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by any other person.

The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Jackson is accurate to the best of the Company’s knowledge and does not take into account an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Jackson after September 5, 2023, which were not deemed outstanding as of the Record Date but were reported as beneficially owned by Jackson on the Schedule 13D/A filed jointly by Jackson and Richard L. Jackson with the SEC on September 5, 2023. Additionally, Mr. Jackson individually and beneficially owns 2 shares of Common Stock.
